Chelsea and Brighton made winning starts to the Premier League season last weekend and followed up with cup wins on Thursday night.
Xabi Alonso's Blues, 3-2 winners at Fulham on Monday night, threw haymakers galore at Luton in the Carabao Cup but had to settle for a 2-0 win.
Brighton, meanwhile, followed their 4-0 hammering of Aston Villa with another 4-0 win over Tromso in the UEFA Conference League and have also kickstarted their season with three clean sheets.

Prediction
Chelsea and Brighton have made bright starts to the season as they prepare to meet at Stamford Bridge in what should be an entertaining affair.
It is certainly a fixture which brought out the best in the Seagulls last season as they inflicted a double over the troubled Londoners.
And they head up the M23 with spirits high after thrashing Tromso 4-0 in the Conference League, hot on the heels of a 4-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend.
They have played three games this season and not conceded a goal.
But the Chelsea they are facing this weekend looks vastly improved on last season's version with a real swagger to their two wins so far — 3-2 at Fulham and 2-0 against Luton in the Carabao Cup.
Defensively there are question marks which the signing of Emi Martinez alone will not solve but that front three of Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and Amex old boy Joao Pedro is knitting together beautifully.
Rogers is one of the stories of the last 12 months and will head on to the pitch with five goals, four assists and rave reviews in his last 11 outings, and he can make another key contribution.
